Laney’s opens doors to marrow registry

Posted on Dec 10, 2013 at 12:42 p.m.

Laney’s is hosting a public opportunity to join the Be The Match national marrow registry and become a potential life-saving marrow donor.

The public is invited to stop in anytime Dec. 14, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and join this important registry, no appointment necessary. The purpose of this registry is to create a pool of possible marrow donors. This is an opportunity for an individual to help thousands of patients who need a marrow transplant for a second chance at life. You could be someone’s “Match.”

The registry enrollment will take place in the Laney’s lobby located at 55 27th St. S. Fargo.

Each applicant will complete a confidential registration/consent form and submit a painless cheek swab. No blood is drawn and the entire process takes less than 25 minutes. All walk-in applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 44.
